Hi,I need some serious advise regarding things.I did a blunder,never realising this could be a problem though.I have my interview at new Delhi embassy coming Monday.Since yesterday I was relaxed that I have all the required documents and quite confident about this.Well while filling the forms yesterday,I realised that I have no surname in my Indian passport.My full name is XXX Kaur.When the petition was filled my name was written as the family name Kaur and first name as XXX.now While filling the form DS156,it mentioned surname (as in passport).I wrote none.While discussing it with my fiance We realise that this is a huge technical trouble.As in the records(I-129 and G325 , my name is mentioned as family name KAUR and first name XXX,while no surname in the passport)I never realised at that time that surname and family names are same.now there is no time left as well/Know its a huge error,but is there something I can do?.Is the situation explainable?I wrote the embassy,they asked me to write as the first name unavailable and write full name in the surname column.I am not sure if they understood the situation.I am done with medical,Pcc,everything,but now can see my visa getting denied coz of my fault.I am really hopeful if anyone can provide me input regarding this asap.Is rescheduling a better Idea?and then get a new passport issued.In that case won't it effect my medical and PCC which have my old passport records in it?Please help!!!!

As far as my little knowledge goes it can create a lot of headache later on because all your future documents will turn out as FAMILY NAME-KAUR and FIRST NAME-UNKNOWN (FNU) on ur green card and drivers license etc

So I would suggest that it is better to get a new passport and apply with your proper first and last name. Please do ask around and make sure about this because this is just my inference and am not 100% sure ..

Something happened with my wife's passport, there is no surname in passport.

When she got her visa it said FNU & later her name. I know that it will be problem & I cannot change her name now so we will change her name at the time of citizenship almost after 3 yrs .

Please calm down......

I am thinking you will get the VISA at the upcoming interview because employees in New Delhi embassy (I am guessing from "Kaur" you are from Punjab, hence are going to New Delhi) probably seen this type of things many time, i.e. "Singh" or "Kaur" are surname in passport. That is what I am thinking, but I'm not sure.

If they ask at interview, just explain.

When you get US Naturalization, change your name to First-Name Kaur Last-Name.

I know one person who got US Naturalization and shortened his last name, and thus it became his official name on all US records (i.e. drivers license, SS#, etc)
